I am writing after a month long sabbatical. Too many things were going on in home-front which made it impossible for me to even open my laptop. But I realised I just need to write a review today since am trying this new product sent to me by team ESQIDO. It is their newly launched gel eyeliner pens. I am extremely happy with the ESQIDO lashes and their Companion lash glue (Readreview and about the brand HERE), so suffice it to say, I was looking forward to a great experience with these pens as well. Keep reading to see if they fared as well as their predecessors.

Packaging:  A twist up retractable liner pencil with a sharpener at the end and it has got a silicon ring just at the base of the cap for a tighter grip of the cap.

My take:  The Esqido gel liner pencil in Black is a jet black shade and the brown is a tuape-ish brown. The pigmentation of both is very satisfactory and single swipe deposits enough pigment on eyes. The texture also is buttery smooth and they glide on very easily on the waterline as well as over the lashline.

Infact, the texture is so smooth that I was quite sure that it is going to smudge very soon. However, within seconds of application when I tried to rub my finger on my lashline and waterline, the color refused to budge.

To further test the liners, I used both pencils on my eyes without any eyeshadow, eyeshadow primer, concealer or powder anywhere on my face. Then I went out to run errands in a particularly highly humid day. The marketplace where I went to was a local bazaar sort of place, and so no air conditioners to prevent sweating!
I came back after 4 hours and checked my face. I was amazed to find that let alone smudging, there was not even any fading on my waterline or lashline even though I sweated like a pig :-o I waited for another hour to splash my face with water and then gently rubbed my eyes. There was no smudging even then although the pigment had faded slightly by then.


Check the pictures below. The first is freshly applied (with a light hand), next is after 4 hours and then with the water test.

There was also no irritation on my waterline even after I used them for tight-lining eyes.
However, contrary to claims, I know I will not be able to created winged lines with a smooth pencil like this. For sharp cat eyes, I always need a pointed brush and liquid eyeliners :P

However, if longevity, pigmentation, transfer-proof quality are to be considered, then these pencils are definitely “gel eyeliners in pencil form”.

I sincerely hope ESQIDO considers retailing in India as their products work like charm. And even though they have free worldwide shipping, I know many who do not have credit cards or debit cards with international transaction facility. Let’s hope team ESQIDO considers direct retail in India. Nykaa.com are you listening???
